The Non-Innovator's Dilemma: talk is cheap, innovation is hard.
On Fri, 26 Sep 2003 00:52:05 CST, in a place far, far away,
(Tom Merkle) made the phosphor on my monitor glow in

Why should NASA bethe organisation that will act as a government subsidy
dispenser for some loser who cannot get his act and business plan together?
Why should we assume that the problem is "some loser who cannot get
his act and business plan together"?
because there's no law against offering launch services to NASA--you
can do it tomorrow if you have the ability to carry it out.
There's also no law requiring them to purchase your services. I'm not
sure what your point is.
And you are wrong anyways - you can buy manned space access now and the price
very probably reflects present demand.
That's utter nonsense.
Two private citizens have paid the cheapest price on the market for
manned access to space. How is this nonsense?
Because the supply isn't satisfying the demand.
It's called supply and
demand.
No, it's called supply not satisfying demand.
Just how ignorant are you of economics?
If soyuz flights were more frequent, they would have paid
less.
Not much.
